We don’t just list products we curate them. Every piece at Comosum is selected for its quality, responsible materials, and long-term use in real homes. That means no throwaway items, no fast furniture, and no hidden shortcuts in craftsmanship. When you buy from us, you’re choosing pieces built to last, made by makers who stand behind their work so you can feel confident bringing them into your home.
About Comosum
Comosum is a sustainable furniture retailer focused on original design and transparent sustainability scoring. We curate high-quality furniture from design-led brands around the world, selected for their commitment to durability, responsible manufacturing, and long-term environmental impact.
Comosum was founded by a former furniture buyer with over a decade of experience working with some of the world’s most respected furniture retailers. Through that work, it became clear how difficult it was for consumers to shop sustainably—despite growing awareness, meaningful information about materials, manufacturing, and product longevity was often missing or unclear.
To address this gap, Comosum partnered with a sustainability expert to develop a proprietary Sustainability Meter—a structured evaluation system used to assess every product we carry. This rubric goes beyond surface-level “eco-friendly” claims and examines factors such as material sourcing, manufacturing practices, labor and social responsibility, durability, transparency, and overall environmental impact.
Only products that meet our sustainability threshold are included in our assortment.
We believe that true sustainability starts with original design and long-lasting quality. Fast furniture, replicas, and disposable products contribute to waste, overproduction, and unnecessary environmental harm. By prioritizing authentic, licensed designs made to last for decades—not seasons—Comosum promotes a more responsible approach to furnishing homes and spaces.
Every product on Comosum includes clear information about materials, origin, care, and sustainability performance, so customers can make informed decisions with confidence. Our goal is not to overwhelm, but to bring clarity and accountability to an industry where transparency has historically been lacking.
Comosum exists for customers who value design integrity, environmental responsibility, and buying better—not more. Through thoughtful global curation and clear standards, we aim to make sustainable furniture shopping simpler, more honest, and more impactful.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Comosum?
Comosum is a sustainable furniture retailer focused on original design and transparent sustainability scoring. We curate furniture from design-led brands around the world and evaluate every product using a consistent sustainability framework before offering it for sale.
What does “original design furniture” mean?
Original design furniture refers to products that are authentically designed, licensed, and produced by the original brand or designer. These pieces are not replicas or imitations. Original designs are typically better engineered, more durable, and produced with clearer accountability around materials, labor, and manufacturing standards.
Why does Comosum avoid replica or knockoff furniture?
Replica furniture contributes to overproduction, short product lifespans, and unnecessary waste. It also undermines designers and often lacks transparency around materials and manufacturing. Comosum believes that furniture designed and built to last is inherently more sustainable than disposable or imitation products.
What is the Comosum Sustainability Meter?
The Comosum Sustainability Meter is a proprietary evaluation system used to assess every product we carry. It examines multiple factors—including materials, manufacturing practices, labor and social responsibility, durability, transparency, and environmental impact—to provide a clearer picture of how sustainable a product truly is.
How is sustainability evaluated at Comosum?
Sustainability is evaluated using a structured rubric rather than a single claim or certification. Each product is reviewed across multiple criteria, allowing customers to understand trade-offs and make informed comparisons. Only products that meet Comosum’s sustainability threshold are included in the assortment.
Does Comosum only work with certain regions or countries?
No. Comosum works with design brands from around the world. The same sustainability standards are applied to every product, regardless of where it is designed or manufactured.
Are all products on Comosum considered sustainable?
Every product offered on Comosum has been evaluated using the Sustainability Meter and meets our minimum sustainability standards. That said, sustainability is not binary. We aim to provide transparency so customers can understand where a product performs strongly and where there may be trade-offs.
Why is durability important for sustainability?
Furniture that lasts longer reduces the need for frequent replacement, lowers material consumption over time, and minimizes waste. At Comosum, durability is treated as a core component of sustainability—not an optional feature.
Does Comosum prioritize certifications?
Certifications can be helpful, but they do not tell the full story on their own. Comosum considers certifications alongside other factors such as material sourcing, production methods, and product lifespan. No single certification determines whether a product is included.
Who is Comosum for?
Comosum is for customers who value thoughtful design, environmental responsibility, and long-term quality. It is designed for people who prefer to buy fewer things, choose well-made products, and understand the impact of their purchasing decisions.
How is Comosum different from other sustainable furniture stores?
Many furniture retailers rely on broad sustainability claims or limited data. Comosum focuses on original design, applies a consistent evaluation framework across all products, and provides clear, comparable information so customers can make informed decisions without guesswork.
